On the morning of May 29, 2010, Hazel Kennard, a 42-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot outside her residence in the 2300 block of Macon Street, near C.F. Hawn Freeway in South Dallas. According to police reports, Hazel had returned to her home to collect personal belongings following an argument with her estranged boyfriend the previous night.
Witnesses stated that as she attempted to leave in her vehicle, the man confronted her, leading to a heated dispute that culminated in him shooting her. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the incident.
Authorities quickly identified Hazel's estranged boyfriend as the primary suspect in the case. An arrest warrant was issued for him shortly after the shooting. However, despite these efforts, he remained at large late into that Saturday. The police did not release his name to the public at that time. Subsequent searches of available public records and news sources have not provided further information regarding his arrest or the resolution of the case.
Hazel Ruth Kennard was born on March 18, 1968, and was a resident of Dallas, Texas, at the time of her death. Her untimely passing was noted in local obituaries, but details about her personal life, including her occupation or family background, were not extensively documented in the available sources. The tragic circumstances of her death highlight the severe consequences of domestic disputes and the lasting impact on the community.
